some photos of the predictor

Looks like you got a few quality shots. that boat really looks fast floating on the pad like that. have you reached 80 yet??
I think i am done working on my boat for the season. just started school.I'm just gathering all the parts i need to restore it over the winter. i'm not sure if i am gonna use a hydraulic jackplate or manual. the manual is free and i dont know how much a hydraulic will run.
I hope to have brand new seats, guages, lights, rub rail, carpet and stereo by next season.

Looks awsome Ill, i wish we could race sometime...

Awsome shots again

That boat looks like its gonna take off and fly into space or somethin'!!! i wish mine had that kinda acceleration. when i am by myself it is like that but with a full load it sucks.
i already cant wait till next year!
I retired my boat for the season because i have no time and money now that i am in school, but i will be back with a vengance

I should have the GPS next year too
Are you going to keep your boat how it is ill, or do you have any more plans ?
Just my opinion... I think that boat would look insane with a custom flame paint job

well i'e been toying with the idea of sanding it down and re clearing it. i dont know. i know i wont paint it up.
 
Cool...I just sanded out the small amount of bondo that was on the starbird side of my mate, and touched it up with an off white paint...Then i buffed the whole hull. i am amazed at how it looks. I never even waxed the hull until now. boy it looks like it just came off the lot. I should have the new interior by the end of winter too. I am very excited about how things are turning out. I cant wait to re wire the new guages and stereo. i've decided that i am going to but a 6'' hydraulic JP as well.
keep up the good work with your predictor Matt. cant wait to see more pics.
 
RE VIDEO HOSTING. Upload 4-5 megs at a time max,or split your video up into 2 or three, or compress it into MPEG if you know someone with a software compressor.. get hosted at http://www.geocities.com
Drawback, only a few viewers can look each day... max limit of downloaders.
-cant wait to see it.. Marc

Like you said before Ill, this hobbie kinda snowballs. i was going to sell my predictor this year but after getting this new motor,i want to do the interior and i dont think i could EVER sell it. its just to much fun. i want to restore it to showroom cond and keep it forever.
you gotta have more pics that we havent seen yet
